General information

Our current offering consists of blends of potassium lactate with either sodium acetate, sodium diacetate, potassium acetate or potassium diacetate or organic vinegar.

Potassium lactate is the potassium salt of L(+)-lactic acid, obtained by neutralisation of the acid of natural origin with a high purity potassium source. It is produced naturally by living organisms as a by-product of the glycolysis. Sodium diacetate (resp. potassium diacetate) is a compound of acetic acid and sodium acetate (resp. potassium acetate). Vinegar is produced by natural fermentation (double alcoholic fermentation) of goods of agricultural origin.

Jungbunzlauer potassium L(+)-lactate blends are colourless to yellowish, syrupy liquids with a slight characteristic odour and a saline taste. These solutions are stable under normal storage conditions, non-toxic to humans and the environment and readily biodegradable.

All these blends are safe and effective preservatives for processed meat and fish products. They suppress the growth of pathogens and prolong the product shelf life. As sodium reduced alternatives to sodium lactate/sodium diacetate, they address the concerns of health organisations and consumers about reducing sodium intake. Furthermore, the combination of potassium L(+)-lactate and organic vinegar provides the additional benefit of a cleaner label shelf life control in processed meat.
